Apply the same standards of justice to sons and daughters


I AM compelled to write this plea on behalf of my daughter and all Malaysian mothers married to foreigners who had their children overseas, resulting in the children not being granted citizenship.

Let us approach this fundamental right of women as citizens of Malaysia sensibly and equitably. Let us not point fingers at any party but help put right what has unfortunately been left uncorrected all these years.
